Enabling access to safe and reliable water. A view of Mactan Rock’s water clarifier plant where raw water undergoes treatment
Reliable, clean water is still out of reach for many communities in the Visayas and Mindanao, where climate swings, rapid urban growth, and shifting ecosystems strain traditional water sources. Meeting this challenge demands forward‑thinking partners and long‑term capital—exactly what Cebu‑based Mactan Rock Industries Inc. has found in BDO Unibank Inc.
For nearly 20 years, BDO has extended revolving credit lines, letters of credit, and import financing that let Mactan Rock scale up, modernize its treatment technologies, and reach more households, hospitals, malls, and tourism hubs—from SM Cebu to SM Iloilo.
“We have worked with resorts, barangays and water-scarce districts in urban areas. By deploying customized water systems, we have seen improvements not just in sanitation but in the overall quality of life, said Mactan Rock Chairman and President Lito R. Maderazo.
Maintaining operational efficiency. Mactan Rock’s supervisor conducts regular inspection of filtration cylinders at the Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.
“Water treatment requires significant upfront investment and it often takes years to recover. BDO’s trust and support help move our business forward. The Bank has been instrumental in financing our projects,” Maderazo added. “Our partnership with Mactan Rock signifies BDO’s commitment to supporting noteworthy initiatives that drive long-term value for communities and businesses. Access to clean water is crucial to build resilient communities and sustainable economic progress,” said Charles M. Rodriguez, BDO Executive Vice President and Head of the Institutional Banking Group.
Sustainability guides every project. Instead of depleting groundwater, Mactan Rock favors wastewater recycling, rain‑water harvesting, and seawater reverse‑osmosis—solutions that protect the environment while remaining cost‑effective.
With demand for dependable water infrastructure rising fastest in Metro Manila, Mactan Rock is gearing up for a Luzon push. Backed by BDO’s continued financing, the company is set to bring safe, reliable water to even more Filipinos—proving that when finance and innovation converge, communities thrive.
